I think the discussion is Brazilian voting but I could be wrong.
Sounds like a new Lifetime show.

I can summarize government in one phrase:

"Can't someone else do it ?"

So are the republicans.

Well, every politician is, really. Since they only want the people to vote for them. And only them. Not even for their other party members.

So there *is* a chance Lordgrim could become supreme ruler or "Fearless Leader"... Rocky and Bullwinkle style.

You can't possibly believe that.

Are you being serious or trolling? Again, I have a hard time telling.

Do you have any idea how much white trash there is that buys into Republicans' ***, despite the fact they benefit the least from said ***?

When you put it like that, no.

Sure, we already have several classes of people who can't vote, it's not like there's no accepted justification for them either. I think less people should vote, for instance, if you can't show ID to prove who you are, you should be forbidden to vote.

I assure you there's way more people out there who would vote for Hil-dog simply because she has a vagina, than these "gulible repubs' you seem to think are everywhere

The U.S. won't be able to handle another Democrat for President. It's barely chugging along with the current.

I have no problem with mandatory voting or some form of it. Half the country doesn't vote. Thats roughly 155+ million people that can vote but don't. Make them get out there and vote. Increase the amount of days our elections last (that would probably be required) to give people more opportunity to vote. Don't buy into nausi's fearmongering (not that anyone is).

This could be a difference of perspective and anecdotal experiences, so I'm just going to let this one go and let you believe what you'd like because neither of us can "proove" anything here.

But in my experience and people I've dealt with directly, far more people will vote Republican for the "family/religious values" and other "conservative" beliefs without having any actual idea what helps them directly or not.

I know people who are on welfare, disability, and public housing who vote Republican because they think that Obama and his ilk are trying to take aware their benefits.

Of course you don't mind forcing people into a decision they may or may not want to do. I mean, you are a full supporter of ACA....

No, I would have opposed it regardless of the idiot who proposed it.

I rather have the freedom to choose, thank you very much.

For those who denied that Obama was willing to take that away back in 2010, how do you plea now?

So the people who don't vote as a sign of protest to the current system, what, they just don't get to express their political speech?

I always knew Obama didn't believe in the first amendment.

Go to the ballot and fill out the choice that says "I choose not to vote." Done!

It was a question... So what did you mean then when you said that his attitudes towards Bibi are pretty good indicators of his priorities then?

A few examples of Obama's dislike for Israel.
